About the author

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Günter Rombach is professor for concrete construction at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg. Previously, he was active in the construction of mostly concrete bridges and containers for a large German construction company and participated in large-scale projects both in- and outside of Germany. For example, he led the technical office for the construction of a roughly 10 km long elevated road through Bangkok that was erected with externally prestressed precast concrete segments. In 2000 he obtained his license as checking engineer for concrete structures.

Prof. Rombach is a member of national and international committees dealing with questions on prestressed concrete construction, the design and erection of concrete bridges as well as the behaviour of bulk materials inside silo cells.
